This Spinach Ravioli in Meat Sauce has a thick, meaty and hearty sauce with phenomenal flavor with and made with ground beef. This is a perfect, comfort meal for a Sunday. You can buy the meat sauce at the store but it is so worth making it yourself. It simmers for 3 hours, but if you have more time, the longer the better.
How to make Beef Ravioli Sauce
Start by blending the whole plum tomatoes in a blender. You could buy the tomato sauce, but I always found the it tastes better this way.
On medium-high heat, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic for a minute, until fragrant. Brown the ground beef, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
Pour in the wine and simmer for 1 minute. Reduce heat and add the blended tomatoes. Sprinkle salt and pepper and add the bay leaf.
Reduce to the lowest heat possible, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Cook the ravioli according to package instructions.
Combine the cooked ravioli and the sauce. Top with some parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley.
